With the global financial crisis not only rearing its ugly head but also spreading its wings as it soars above all of us today, saving a lot of money is very important.

Which is why you should try to save as much as you can on the premiums you’re paying for your car. When the car is cheap, chances are the insurance premiums are low as well. Low estimate for future repairs also jack down the premiums.

However, if your heart’s really set on a spiffy new sports car, then you really have to contend with high insurance premiums, as statistics show that sports cars are involved in more accidents, and insurance companies will definitely give you high premiums with all that octane and speed involved.

Many turn to consumer reports for ideas when they do try to make up their mind if they are to purchase a car. The auto industry is on the rocks but with many dealers going broke, finding a place to buy one may even prove to be a challenge. Being in a city offers a lot of options but out in the country where dealers are far and wide, you’d be lucky if you don’t have to go out of state just to get one. Car dealerships are offering all they could to entice car buyers and who wouldn’t for there’s not a lot of buying happening anywhere.
If you happen to do have the cash and decide to purchase a vehicle, try to select those made by manufacturers who are not affected too much by the current recession such as the BIG 3. Economic considerations are also in order such as fuel price, make and overall reviews from consumer groups who have seen them and tested the many aspects. Remember to get ample insurance for protection, which is as much as you could so you escape the hassle of uninsured driving.

That decision remains with the buyer but signs are not too good, with many of the largest auto makers in financial troubles. Money is the key and having it in the right place at the right time may be key to getting a new car in today’s economic downturn. With many dealerships having to close shop due to low sales and problematic supplies, finding a willing dealer might be your first problem. Insurance is also another challenge for not many are offering good ones (most have also closed shop due to losses).
Being able to buy a car doesn’t mean you may be able to get the necessary auto insurance at the same time. There remains a lot of providers but having the right dealer along with the right provider to protect your investment may the harder than you think. With more people opting to use public transport and other alternative means, cars are not that much of a priority for today’s economic crisis.

Let’s go back to 2004 and check out what happened same time that year:

Today, The Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission announced that its current review of auto insurance rates in the province is nearing completion. According to them out of the 31 insurance companies that have filed their rates, the Commission has completed its review of 21 and has authorized rate reductions that will take effect on April 1, 2004.

Maurice Rodgerson, Commission Chair said that they will complete its review of the remaining 10 filings within the next few weeks.  The insurance companies’ rate filings reflect recent amendments to the Insurance Act that will limit liability claims for minor personal injury to $2,500. The amendments would reduce, on average, auto insurance rates by as much as 13 percent as indicated by the insurance industry

If you’re from Georgia, you’d better be prepared for the possibility of paying additional premiums on your car insurance. According to an article on ajc.com, Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine is considering the addition of fees on car and other forms of insurance to support trauma care services for car accident victims and others. Oxendine says it’s because most trauma cases are a result of car crashes and work accidents. And since the state is desperately in need of more funding for trauma care services, they’re looking for someway to bring in revenues annually.

Insurance industry advocates naturally oppose this proposal. They argue that this would raise the costs and premiums of their products, as well as add new and unfair taxes to the industry. Since such fees are normally passed on to the consumers, it would be a double whammy for responsible citizens who religiously pay their taxes and get car insurance. Another burden is that the fee would not be specific to car insurance, but may also apply to health insurance and worker’s compensation.

On choosing a car, one of the most important things to consider is the insurance–of course buying a new car is like an investment. Also, in purchasing insurance some factors would like the car’s safety rating, and the like.

First, do a research on cars that are specifically adapted to you needs and your budget before you make a decision on purchasing. Don’t just buy the car because of the brand or how good it looks, or even how low the gas mileage is. Consider the value of the car, and the features it has. For one, it has to be a safe car too, so better check its safety rating.

Don?t buy an expensive car unless you’re sure that you can make insurance payments regularly. Remember the insurance costs are commensurate to the value of the car. So this means the more expensive the car is, the higher the premiums for that car.

Also check online, or on newspapers for car deals. Of course, you shouldn’t just buy the cheapest or the lowest deal. Look for cars with the essential safety features and restraint systems, such as seat belts, airbags and such. Seatbelts should come standard in all cars. Secondary restraint and protection systems like air bags and side impact beams may not, though.
